ITEM 1. BUSINESS

GENERAL

    Communication Intelligence Corporation, together with its subsidiary and
majority-owned joint venture (the "Company" or "CIC"), develops, markets and
licenses natural input, computer interface, handwriting recognition and data
security technologies and products for various markets (including personal
computing as well as electronic commerce and communication). The Company's
products include the multi-lingual Handwriter-Registered Trademark- Recognition
System and SigCheck-TM-(signature verification software) and the
PenDOS-Registered Trademark- and PenMAC-Registered Trademark- pen operating
environments. CIC also markets software tools such as InkTools-TM- and
Sign-it-TM-, which allow signature capture and verification within computer
applications, Handwriter-Registered Trademark- for
Windows-Registered Trademark-, a peripheral input device product enabling users
to have pen computing capabilities on their desktop personal computers and
Handwriter-Registered Trademark- Manta-TM-, which provides similar capabilities
for laptop computer users.

    The Company's current strategy is to commercialize its products for pen
computing applications internationally through the establishment of a network of
strategic business alliances. To achieve this objective, the Company is seeking
to form a series of strategic business alliances with corporations and other
entities. The Company believes that this strategy will offer the benefits of pen
computing to computer users worldwide while creating opportunities both for
itself and its partners. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able
to establish strategic business alliances or, if established, that such
alliances will be profitable for the Company.

    The Company has implemented a three-pronged revenue generation strategy. The
Company (i) licenses its products to original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs")
and independent software vendors who reproduce and market them in conjunction
with their own products, (ii) sells its end-user products, such as the
MacHandwriter-Registered Trademark-, Handwriter-Registered Trademark- for
Windows-Registered Trademark- and Handwriter-Registered Trademark- Manta-TM-
through independent sales representatives, distributors, strategic
relationships, and its corporate sales force, and (iii) provides system
integration services and markets its pen-based business computer systems to
Chinese businesses, Government users and other joint ventures through its
79%-owned joint venture in the People's Republic of China.

    In January 1997, the Company announced that CompUSA had expanded its
stocking of the Handwriter-Registered Trademark- for
Windows-Registered Trademark- to all of its over 122 U.S. stores from an initial
four-store introduction in November and December 1996. The Company also
announced in January 1997 that Norand Corporation introduced the PEN KEY 6622, a
powerful PC-based mobile computer, with the Company's
Handwriter-Registered Trademark- Recognition System software pre-installed.
Other manufacturers of handheld computer products which have adopted the
Company's software on the Windows-Registered Trademark- for pen-computing
platform include Fujitsu Personal Systems, Inc., Symbol Technologies, Telxon
Corporation and Seiko-Epson. In March 1997, the Arthritis Foundation awarded the
Company an "Ease of Use Seal of Commendation" for its
Handwriter-Registered Trademark- for Windows-Registered Trademark-.

HISTORY

    The Company was initially incorporated in Delaware in October 1986 as a
wholly-owned subsidiary of a predecessor corporation (with the same name). The
Company has one wholly-owned operating subsidiary, CIC Japan, Inc. ("CIC
Japan"), incorporated in Japan in February 1984, and a 79%-owned joint venture,
Communication Intelligence Computer Corporation, Ltd., a joint venture with the
Ministry of Electronic Industries of the Jiangsu Provence, a provincial agency
of the People's Republic of China (the "Joint Venture"). The Joint Venture was
formed in China in September 1993.

                                       1
<PAGE>
    In each year since its inception, the Company has incurred losses. In July
1994, the Company filed a voluntary petition for reorganization and protection
under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the District of San Francisco primarily to restructure the
Company and its debt. On November 14, 1994, the Company's pre-petition creditors
approved, and the United States Bankruptcy Court confirmed, the Company's Plan
of Reorganization (the "Plan") and the Company emerged from bankruptcy. The Plan
provided for the payment in full, in cash, of all allowed unsecured claims of
creditors while leaving secured creditors unimpaired by providing for their
payment in compliance with the original terms and conditions of their loans.
Creditors were paid in three approximately equal installments in February 1995,
1996, and 1997, respectively. In addition, under the Plan each holder of the
Company's then outstanding common stock or convertible preferred stock received
one unit, which consisted of two shares of Common Stock and one stock purchase
warrant, with an exercise price of $0.50 per share, in exchange for each two
shares of convertible preferred or common stock. All unexercised warrants issued
under the Plan expired in December 1994. Since July 1994, the Company has
consummated a number of debt and equity financings. For further information
concerning these transactions, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations-- Liquidity and Capital
Resources."

CORE TECHNOLOGIES

    The Company offers a wide range of hardware and software products for
pen-based computing, based on the Company's core handwriting recognition and
related technologies. The Company's core technologies are classified into two
broad categories: "Natural Input Technologies" and "Transaction and
Communication Enabling Technologies."

    NATURAL INPUT TECHNOLOGIES.  CIC's natural input technologies are designed
to allow users to interact with a computer through an electronic pen. CIC
believes the electronic pen is currently the most natural and cost-effective
manner of interacting with a computer. The Company also believes that natural
input enhances productivity and creativity, and reduces the risk of repetitive
stress illness ("RSI").

    TRANSACTION AND COMMUNICATION ENABLING TECHNOLOGIES.  The Company believes
its transaction and communication enabling technologies provide cost-effective
means for protected electronic transactions and discretionary communications.
CIC believes that these technologies offer more efficient methods to conduct
transactions and provide more functional user authentication and heightened data
security. The Company's transaction and communication enabling technologies have
been fundamental in its development of software for signature verification, data
security, data compression and operating environments.

PRODUCTS

    CIC has developed two desktop pen computing end user products,
Handwriter-Registered Trademark- for Windows, and
MacHandwriter-Registered Trademark-. These Handwriter-Registered Trademark-
products combine software and hardware into "all-in-one" input devices for easy
pen entry of graphics, text and commands. Handwriter-Registered Trademark-
products have been designed to be compatible with Windows-Registered Trademark-
and Macintosh platforms. CIC has positioned its Handwriter-Registered Trademark-
products to complement the keyboard and perform as an ergonomic editing tool.
CIC believes Handwriter-Registered Trademark- products enhance productivity in
editing documents, while helping to reduce the risk of RSI. In March 1997, The
Arthritis Foundation awarded the Company with an "Ease of Use Seal of
Commendation" for its Handwriter-Registered Trademark- for
Windows-Registered Trademark- product.

    Handwriter-Registered Trademark- for Windows-Registered Trademark- is also
offered with other bundled applications such as YPad-TM- and E-mail ink
annotation. YPad-TM- is an electronic notepad. E-mail ink annotation is a
handwriting application that is specifically designed for E-mail users and
allows for electronic annotation on documents. The Company believes its
applications enhance the functionality of Handwriter-Registered Trademark-
products. The Company believes its Handwriter-Registered Trademark- for
Windows-Registered Trademark- and MacHandwriter-Registered Trademark-, along
with the PenDOS-Registered Trademark- and PenMAC-Registered Trademark- operating
environments, are competitive product offerings in the field of pen input
technology. CIC has also

                                       2
<PAGE>
developed Handwriter-Registered Trademark- Manta-TM-, which offers laptop
computer users capabilities similar to Handwriter-Registered Trademark- for
Windows-Registered Trademark-. The Company believes that pen input devices are
particularly suitable to laptop users.

    CIC markets software tools such as Ink Tools-TM- and Sign-it-TM-, which
allow signature capture and verification within computer applications, and
YPad-TM- and E-mail ink annotation.

    The Company's products are marketed through various channels as well as
offered on the Internet.

COPYRIGHTS, PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS

    The Company relies on a combination of patents, copyrights, trademarks,
trade secrets and contractual provisions to protect its proprietary rights in
its products and technologies. There can be no assurance that these protections
will be adequate or that the Company's competitors will not independently
develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to the
Company's technologies. In addition, the laws of certain countries in which the
Company's products are licensed may not protect the Company's products and
intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United
States. Because of the rapid evolution of technology and uncertainties in
intellectual property law in the United States and internationally, there can be
no assurance that the Company's current or future products or technologies will
not be subject to infringement by others. The Company's licensees and
distributors have access to proprietary information of the Company, and there
can be no assurance that the measures taken by the Company to protect its
technologies, products and other proprietary rights will adequately protect it
against improper use. A substantial portion of the Company's technology and
know-how are trade secrets and are not protected by patent, trademark or
copyright laws. The Company has a policy of requiring its employees and
contractors to respect proprietary information through written agreements. The
Company also has a policy of requiring prospective business partners to enter
into non-disclosure agreements before any of the Company's proprietary
information is revealed to them.

    The original character recognition technology processes employed in the
Company's products were developed and patented by SRI International ("SRI"), and
SRI assigned those patents to CIC (the "SRI Patents"). The SRI Patents have
expired. Other major elements of the Company's products and technologies were
developed by CIC and are patented in the United States and overseas. The Company
does not believe that the expiration of the SRI Patents has had or will have a
significant impact on its operations since CIC has made significant improvements
to the original technology and additional patents relating to such technological
improvements have been applied for or issued. Certain of the Company's existing
patents covering these improvements expire between 1998 and 2005.

    CIC-Registered Trademark- and its logo, Handwriter-Registered Trademark-,
MacHandwriter-Registered Trademark-, PenDOS-Registered Trademark-,
PenMAC-Registered Trademark-, INKshrINK-Registered Trademark- and Creativity
Tool-Registered Trademark- are registered trademarks of the Company.
Handwriter-Registered Trademark- Manta-TM-, JOT-TM-, SigCheck-TM-,
InkSentry-TM-, Ink Tools-TM-, Sign-it-TM- and YPad-TM- are trademarks of the
Company. Applications for registration of various trademarks are pending in the
United States, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain and the United Kingdom. The
Company intends to register its trademarks generally in those jurisdictions
where its products are or will be marketed in the future.

    The Company may be required to take various forms of legal action from time
to time to protect its proprietary rights. Any litigation regarding claims
against the Company or claims made by the Company against others could result in
significant expense to the Company and divert the efforts of its technical and
management personnel. The Company could be required to expend significant
resources to develop non-infringing technology or obtain licenses from third
parties. There can be no assurance that the Company would be successful in such
development or that any such licenses would be available on commercially
reasonable terms, if at all.

                                       3

SOURCES AND AVAILABILITY OF MATERIALS

    Digitizer tablets and electronic pens used in connection with
Handwriter-Registered Trademark- for Windows-Registered Trademark- are
manufactured by one supplier (according to the Company's specifications). In
addition, the digitizer and electronic pen used in connection with the
Handwriter-Registered Trademark- Manta-TM- are manufactured by two suppliers.
Other subcontractors manufacture templates, duplicate software, print
documentation and prepare packaging for the Company's products. The digitizer,
pens and other components are packaged by a turnkey software service and shipped
to customers upon the Company's instructions. If any of the Company's suppliers
or manufacturers do not or are unable to meet the Company's volume requirements,
the Company's operations would be adversely affected even though one of it
suppliers is obligated to assist the Company in obtaining an adequate supply of
digitizers and pens. The Company is currently evaluating whether or not it will
use additional suppliers.

SEASONALITY OF BUSINESS

    The Company has not experienced seasonal trends affecting sales of its
products or the development or licensing of its technologies within its industry
segment of operation. However, the recent offering of
Handwriter-Registered Trademark- for Windows-Registered Trademark- through
retail channels (and directly to consumers in North America) may expose the
Company to seasonal trends which it has not experienced in the past.

MATERIAL CUSTOMERS

    The Company operates in a single industry segment and historically its
revenues have been derived from a limited number of customers or other sources.
Two customers accounted for approximately 11% and 10% of the Company's revenues
in 1996. One customer accounted for approximately 25% and 21% of the Company's
revenues in 1995 and 1994, respectively. The loss of any significant customer or
other source of revenue would have a material adverse effect on the Company. In
February 1996, the Company's grant from the National Institute of Standards and
Technology ("NIST") with respect to the development of Chinese character
recognition technology expired. For the year ended December 31, 1996, the
Company received an aggregate of $91,000 from this grant, representing
approximately 3% of the Company's total revenues for 1996.

BACKLOG

    Backlog for the Company's products is subject to rescheduling and
cancellation. As a result, the Company does not consider backlog to be a
reliable indicator of future sales. The Company had backlog of $195,000 at
December 31, 1996, no backlog at December 31, 1995 and backlog of approximately
$11,000 at December 31, 1994. Backlog consists of orders placed for the
Company's products by third-parties that have not been shipped as of December
31, 1996 due to third-party shipping and delivery requirements. All backlog as
of December 31, 1996 has been shipped as of March 31, 1997.

COMPETITION

    The markets in which the Company competes are intensely competitive and have
attracted a number of major companies already established in the personal
computer and software industries. Certain competitors of the Company have
substantially greater financial and other resources than that of the Company.
The Company faces competition at a number of different levels. Certain
competitors have developed or are developing complete pen-based hardware and
software systems, while others have focused on different elements of such
systems, such as character recognition technology, pen-based operating systems
and environments, and pen-based applications. For example, Tandy Corporation and
Sony Corporation currently offer pen-based portable computers incorporating
handwriting recognition technology at various levels of sophistication, and
Microsoft offers a handwriting recognition system and a pen-based operating
environment. There can be no assurance that competitors will not succeed in

                                       4
<PAGE>
developing products or technologies that are more effective, easier to use or
less expensive than the Company's products or technologies or that would render
the Company's technologies or products obsolete or non-competitive. In addition,
there can be no assurance that the companies with whom the Company establishes
distribution, license, product development or other strategic relationships will
not choose to market technologies and products that they develop internally or
acquire from third parties. For example, Apple and IBM are developing internally
or have licensed from third parties a number of technologies related to
pen-based computing, NCR/ATT has developed its own pen-based operating
environment, and NEC has developed its own character recognition technology and
pen-based operating system.

    The Company believes that the principal competitive factors in the markets
for pen-based computer products are the quality and reliability of character
recognition technology, multilingual capabilities of character-based recognition
technology, compatibility with a broad range of computer systems, name
recognition, effective distribution channels, ease of use, software efficiency
and the ability to sell to leading computer companies who may be predisposed to
develop their own technology instead of licensing third-party technology. The
markets for pen-based products are still emerging, and the Company is unable to
determine which of these factors are the most important. The Company believes
that it competes favorably with respect to these factors, although it is at a
competitive disadvantage with respect to name recognition and distribution
capability. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to be
competitive as the pen-based computing industry evolves, market demands change
and the Company's competitors apply substantial resources toward the development
of new products and technologies.

EMPLOYEES

    As of December 31, 1996, the Company employed 82 full-time employees and 2
part-time employees. From time to time, the Company also engages additional
personnel on an as needed basis. The Company believes it has good relations with
its employees.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

    Certain statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including
without limitation, statements containing the words "believes", "anticipates",
"may", "intends", "expects" and words of similar import, constitute
"forward-looking" statements within the meaning of the Private Litigation Reform
Act of 1995. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and
other factors which may cause actual Company results to differ materially from
expectations. Such factors include the following: (1) technological,
engineering, manufacturing, quality control or other circumstances which could
delay the sale or shipment of the Company's products; (2) economic, business and
competitive conditions in the software industry and technological innovations
which could affect the Company's business; and (3) the Company's inability to
protect its trade secrets or other proprietary rights, operate without
infringing upon the proprietary rights of others and prevent others from
infringing on the proprietary rights of the Company. Certain of these factors
are discussed in more detail elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

FOREIGN OPERATIONS

    For the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, the Company's export
sales as a percentage of total revenues were approximately 7%, 6% and 15%,
respectively. For further information regarding the Company's foreign
operations, see the Notes to the Company's consolidated financial statements
provided pursuant to Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report, which are
incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

    The Company currently leases its principal facilities (the "Principal
Offices"), consisting of approximately 9,000 square feet, in Redwood Shores,
California, pursuant to a lease that expires in 2000. In addition, the Company
recently signed a 17-month lease for an additional 3,000 square feet of space
near the Principal Offices (the "Expansion Space") in order to accommodate
additional personnel hired by the Company in the last three months in connection
with its increased marketing activities. CIC Japan leases approximately 1,580
square feet of office space in Tokyo, Japan and the Joint Venture leases
approximately 1,000 square feet in Nanjing, China. The Company anticipates that
its existing lease will be renegotiated as they expire or that alternative
properties can be leased on acceptable terms. The Company also believes that its
current facilities will be suitable for it to continue operations in the
forseeable future.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

    As of March 25, 1997, the Company was not a party to any legal proceeding
which, if adversely determined, would have a material adverse effect on its
business. In July 1994, the Company filed a petition for bankruptcy under
Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in order to restructure the
Company and its debt. In November 1994, the Plan was approved and confirmed and
the Company emerged from bankruptcy. See "Item 1. Business--Background."

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

    None.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

    The Company's Common Stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market
under the trading symbol "CICI." In September 1991, the Company's Common Stock
was first listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, and in June 1993 it was listed
on the Nasdaq National Market. In July 1994 (during the Company's Chapter 11
reorganization proceedings), the Company's Common Stock was delisted for failure
to meet Nasdaq's minimum price requirements. From July 1994 to July 1996,

</TABLE>

    As of March 25, 1997, the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the The
Nasdaq SmallCap Market was $2.00 per share and there were approximately 650
registered holders of the Common Stock.

    To date, the Company has not paid any dividends on its Common Stock and does
not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. The declaration and
payment of dividends on the Common Stock is in the discretion of the Board of
Directors and will depend on, among other things, the Company's operating
results, financial condition, capital requirements, contractual restrictions or
prohibitions with respect to the payment of dividends (such as those related to
the Convertible Preferred) and such other factors as the Board of Directors may
deem relevant. At March 25, 1997, the Company had 450,000 shares of Convertible
Preferred issued and outstanding. The Convertible Preferred entitles the holders
thereof to receive cumulative dividends on each share at the rate of $1.25 per
share per annum, compounded semi-annually, when payable, whether or not
declared. Dividends may be paid at the Company's option in cash or additional
shares of Convertible Preferred (with each additional share valued at $25 per
share). The Company has agreed with the holders of the Convertible Preferred
that it would not declare dividends or make any distributions to holders of the
Common Stock prior to the earlier of February 1998 (or later under certain
circumstances) or the date on which all outstanding Convertible Preferred has
been converted into shares of Common Stock. The Company is also required to pay
any accrued and unpaid dividends on outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred
before declaring or paying any dividends on any other class or series of stock,
including the Common Stock.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
  OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

    HISTORY.  The Company was initially incorporated in Delaware in October
1986. In each year since its inception, the Company has incurred losses. In July
1994, the Company filed a petition for reorganization and protection under
Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in order to restructure the
Company and its debt. In November, 1994, the Company's pre-petition creditors
approved, and the United States Bankruptcy Court confirmed, the Company's Plan
of Reorganization and the Company emerged from bankruptcy. For the five-year
period ended December 31, 1996, these losses aggregated approximately $36.4
million and at December 31, 1996, the Company's accumulated deficit was
approximately $54.3 million. See "Item 1. Business--History."

    REVENUE RECOGNITION.  Revenue from product sales is recognized upon shipment
provided that no significant obligations remain and the collection of the
resulting receivable is probable. The Company provides for estimated sales
returns at the time of shipment. License revenues are recognized when the
software has been delivered and when all significant obligations have been met.
Royalty revenues are recognized as products are licensed and sold by licensees.
Under the terms of an agreement with IBM, the Company is obligated to share with
IBM certain revenues from third parties when earned. Development contract
revenue is generated primarily from system integration services, and research
grants and joint development agreements with government agencies. Revenue is
recognized in accordance with the terms of the grants and agreements, generally
when collectibility is probable and related costs have been incurred. There were
no joint development agreements in 1996 and 1995. System integration revenue is
generally recognized upon customer acceptance and fulfillment of all significant
obligations under the contract.

    SOURCES OF REVENUES.  To date, the Company's accounts receivable have been
derived principally from revenues earned from end-users, manufacturers,
retailers and distributors of computer products in North America, Europe, and
the Pacific Rim. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its
customers and does not require collateral. The Company maintains reserves for
potential credit losses. Historically, such losses have been insignificant and
within management's expectations.

    SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS.  Software development costs are accounted for in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, Accounting
for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed
("SFAS 86"). Under SFAS 86, capitalization of software development costs begins
upon the establishment of technological feasibility, subject to net realizable
value considerations. In the Company's case, capitalization commences upon the
completion of a working model and generally ends upon the release of the
product. As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, such costs were insignificant.

    SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS.  Two customers accounted for 11% and 10% of revenues
in 1996, respectively. One customer accounted for 25% and 21% of revenues in
1995 and 1994, respectively.

    RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT.  Research and development costs are charged to
expense as incurred.

    FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION.  The Company considers the functional
currencies of CIC Japan and the Joint Venture to be the respective local
currencies and, accordingly, gains and losses from the translation of the local
foreign currency financial statements are included as a component of "cumulative
foreign currency translation adjustment" in the Company's consolidated balance
sheets accompanying this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Foreign currency assets and
liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the end-of-period exchange
rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates in effect
during each period.

                                       9
<PAGE>
    Net foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included as components
of "interest income and other income (expense), net" in the Company's
consolidated statements of operations accompanying this Annual Report on Form
10-K. The Company recorded net foreign currency transaction gains of $59,000,
$53,000 and $147,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.

    RESEARCH GRANT.  In November 1993, CIC received a two-year grant under the
Advanced Technology Program sponsored by the National Institute of Standards and
Technology. The amount of the first and second year awards were $810,000 and
$670,000, respectively. The Company recognized $91,000, $590,000 and $746,000 as
development contracts revenue under this grant for the years ended December 31,
1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

    NET OPERATING LOSS CARRYFORWARDS.  Utilization of the Company's net
operating losses may be subject to an annual limitation due to the ownership
change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and similar
state provisions. As a result, a portion of the Company's net operating loss
carryforwards may not be available to offset future taxable income. The Company
has provided a full valuation allowance for deferred tax assets of $16,170,000
based upon the Company's history of losses.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND DECEMBER 31, 1995

    REVENUES.  The Company's revenues are derived from product sales, license
and royalty revenues and development contracts. The Company's product sales for
the year ended December 31, 1996 increased by 30% to $1,591,000 from $1,220,000
for the prior year. The increase was due to increased sales with respect to the
hardware and software components involved in the system integration activities
of the Joint Venture ($1,273,000 for 1996 compared to $571,000 for 1995), offset
by reductions in sales of the Company's Handwriter-Registered Trademark- product
in 1996 as compared to the prior year. This decline in
Handwriter-Registered Trademark- product revenue resulted from the Company's
decision to reduce its sales through distributor and catalog resellers and place
increased focus on the retail market, however, significant increases in retail
sales did not materialize in 1996. In January 1997, CompUSA began offering the
Company's Handwriter-Registered Trademark- products nationwide in all of its
over 122 stores. The Company's Handwriter-Registered Trademark- Products are
also offered at CompUSA's website. There can be no assurance, however, that the
Company will be successful in selling its products in the retail market.

    Revenues from license and royalty fees for the year ended December 31, 1996
increased by 244% to $816,000 from $237,000 for the prior year. The increase was
primarily attributable to the recognition of approximately $412,000 of
previously deferred royalty revenues that were recognized on agreements for
which the Company has no further obligations to deliver additional software or
services and increased shipment volumes reported by two of the Company's
licensees.

    Revenues from development contracts for the year ended December 31, 1996
decreased by 44% to $480,000 from $857,000 for the prior year. Revenues from
development contracts are primarily attributable to grants received from the
National Institute of Standards and Technology ("NIST") and The National Science
Foundation ("NSF"). Grant revenues declined by 60% to $256,000 for 1996 from
$653,000 for 1995. The decline in grant revenues resulted from the expiration in
1996 of a grant received from NIST in January 1995. The Company has historically
pursued contract revenues as part of its business strategy, and at least in the
short term, expects to continue to do so.

    COST OF SALES.  Cost of sales is comprised of costs from product sales,
licensing, royalty and other costs and development contracts. Cost of product
sales in 1996 consists primarily of cost of materials, approximately $1,223,000
of which for 1996 related to the hardware and software components involved in
the system integration activities of the Joint Venture and the remainder of
which related to material costs of the Company's
Handwriter-Registered Trademark- product sales. The decrease in the gross margin
on product sales to 5% in 1996 from 22% in 1995 resulted from a shift in the mix
of product sales to lower margin systems

                                       10
<PAGE>
integration activities of the Joint Venture, which comprised 75% of total
product revenues in 1996 as compared to 37% in the prior year. License,
royalties and other costs, which include procurement, warehousing, and related
personnel in connection with the sales of the Company's products, increased by
approximately $139,000 to $376,000 for 1996 from $237,000 for 1995 and were
offset by a reduction in the amortization of capitalized software development
costs of $59,000 for 1996 as compared to the prior year. This increase in other
costs related primarily to additional personnel costs in connection with the
launch of the Company's Handwriter-Registered Trademark- for
Windows-Registered Trademark- product in the retail market in the first quarter
of 1997. Costs incurred in connection with development contract revenue are
expensed as incurred and decreased 56% in 1996 as compared to the prior year,
commensurate with the reduction in contract development revenues in the same
period.

    RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES.  Research and development expenses
increased by 30% to $1,756,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996 from
$1,355,000 for the prior year. This increase was primarily attributable to
continued in-house development of the Chinese character recognition system, the
research and development of which was funded through the NIST grant in 1995 and
consequently was included as a component of cost of development contracts in
that period. Research and development staff and related costs in 1996 were
consistent with staff and related costs incurred in 1995. The Company did not
capitalize any software development costs in 1996 compared to $20,000 of
software development costs capitalized in 1995.

    SALES AND MARKETING EXPENSES.  Sales and marketing expenses increased 26% to
$3,282,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996 as compared to $2,613,000 for
the prior year. This increase was primarily due to increases in staffing, travel
and related costs of approximately $338,000 and $167,000, respectively. These
increases were the result of an increase in sales personnel and travel expenses
in anticipation of the Company's entrance into the retail market. The increase
in other selling expenses, including facilities expenses and facilities-related
costs, of $117,000 in 1996 as compared to the prior year were attributable
primarily to the increases in staffing. The remaining increase of $47,000 in
1996 as compared to the prior year related primarily to an increase in sales
consulting expenses offset in part by a decrease in catalog advertising,
resulting from the Company's current focus on the retail market in 1996.

    GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  General and administrative expenses
increased 19% to $2,037,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996 as compared to
$1,717,000 for the prior year. This increase resulted largely from increased
consulting and stockholder-related costs in 1996 as compared to 1995. The
increase in consulting costs of $73,000 over the prior year resulted from
financial advisory services rendered by a director of the Company in 1996. The
increase in stockholder-related costs of $93,000 in 1996 as compared to the
prior year resulted from additional costs incurred in 1996 with respect to SEC
and Nasdaq filing fees, proxy services and preparation of the Company's annual
report to stockholders. The remaining increase in general and administrative
expenses of $154,000 in 1996 as compared to 1995 resulted primarily from
increased premiums on directors and officers liability insurance, and personnel
and personnel-related costs.

    INTEREST INCOME AND OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET.  Interest income and other
income (expense), net for 1996 increased to $278,000 of income in 1996 compared
to $203,000 of income in the prior year. This increase is primarily due to
interest income earned on the Company's cash and short-term investments.

    INTEREST EXPENSE.  Interest expense for 1996 decreased to $99,000 compared
to $264,000 in the prior year. This decrease is the result of reduced interest
expenses associated with the reduction of pre-petition liabilities and
short-term debt during 1995.

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND DECEMBER 31, 1994

    REVENUES.  Product sales decreased 55% to $1,220,000 in 1995 from $2,710,000
in the prior year. The decline in sales was due to an increase in selling price
as the Company prepared to sell its U.S. products

                                       11
<PAGE>
through distributors and computer resellers and the reduction in advertising and
marketing efforts brought about by the severe cash constraints experienced by
the Company during 1994. The Company began shipping the
Handwriter-Registered Trademark- for Windows-Registered Trademark- in late 1993
and the MacHandwriter-Registered Trademark- in the first quarter of 1994. Since
the second quarter of 1994, the Company has concentrated its sales efforts on
distributors and catalog resellers.

    Revenues from license and royalty fees for 1995 increased to $237,000 from
$61,000 in the prior year. The increase was primarily the result of increased
shipment volumes reported by two of the Company's licensees. Revenues from
development contracts for 1995 increased to $857,000 from $828,000 in the prior
year. Contract revenues were primarily attributable to a grant awarded by NIST
in December 1993 to supplement development of a recognition system for the
Chinese language. This grant expired in January 1996.

    COST OF SALES.  Cost of sales is comprised of the costs of materials,
procurement, warehousing, and related personnel in connection with the sales of
the Company's products as well as costs of development contract revenue and the
amortization of capitalized software development costs. Costs incurred in
connection with development contract revenue are expensed as incurred. Cost of
sales decreased by 58% to $2,163,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995 as
compared to $5,141,000 for 1994. This decrease was attributable to a decrease in
product sales and a decrease in amortization of software development costs,
including amounts written down to net realizable value (from $1,653,000 in 1994
to $157,000 in 1995). In addition, during 1994 the Company wrote-off
approximately $550,000 of MacHandwriter-Registered Trademark- II inventory
(CIC's Japanese language product). No such write off occurred during 1995.

    RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES.  Research and development expenses
decreased in 1995 by 34% to $1,355,000 from $2,062,000 in 1994. This decrease
was primarily attributable to decreases in the Company's research and
development staff and related costs commencing in the second quarter of 1994.
The Company capitalized $20,000 of software development costs in 1995 as
compared to $436,000 in the prior year. The continuing effect of reductions in
personnel and product development efforts in 1994 accounted for the decline in
research and development expenses and software capitalization during 1995.

    SALES AND MARKETING EXPENSES.  Sales and marketing expenses decreased 47% to
$2,613,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995 as compared to $4,936,000 for
the prior year. This decrease was primarily due to reductions in staffing and
related costs and promotional expenses incurred in the launch of
Handwriter-Registered Trademark- for Windows-Registered Trademark- and
MacHandwriter-Registered Trademark- during the first and second quarters of
1994.

    GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  General and administrative expenses
decreased by 28% to $1,717,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995 as compared
to $2,395,000 for the prior year. This decrease was primarily attributable to
the continuing effect of reductions in personnel and other costs in 1994.

    INTEREST INCOME AND OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE) NET.  Interest income and other
income (expense), net increased to $203,000 of income for the year ended
December 31, 1995 compared to a net expense of $38,000 for the prior year. This
increase was primarily due to interest income earned on the Company's cash, cash
equivalents and short term investments.

    INTEREST EXPENSE.  Interest expense increased to $264,000 compared to
$75,000 for the prior year. This increase was the result of interest expenses
associated with the pre-petition liabilities and increased short-term debt in
1995 as compared to 1994.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 1996 totaled $10,573,000 compared
to cash and cash equivalents of $5,924,000 at December 31, 1995. This increase
was primarily attributable to $11,578,000

                                       12
<PAGE>
provided by financing activities and $425,000 provided by investing activities
in 1996, offset by $7,363,000 used in operations. In 1996, the effect of
exchange rate changes on cash was immaterial.

    At December 31, 1996, current liabilities, which include deferred revenue,
were $4,136,000. Deferred revenue, totaling $2,006,000 at December 31, 1996,
primarily reflects nonrefundable advance royalty fees received from the
Company's licensees which are generally recognized as revenue by the Company in
the period in which licensees report that products incorporating the Company's
software have been shipped or when no significant obligation to provide
additional software or services exists. As such, the period over which such
deferred revenue will be recognized as revenue is uncertain because the Company
cannot presently determine either the timing or volume of future shipments by
its licensees. Under the terms of the Company's agreement with IBM, the Company
is obligated to share certain royalties from third parties with IBM when earned.

    As of December 31, 1996, the Company's principal source of liquidity was its
cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $11,325,000. The Company
believes that the above-mentioned funds, are adequate to meet projected working
capital and other cash requirements for the next twelve months.

JOINT VENTURE IN PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA

    In 1993, the Company formed the Joint Venture with The Ministry of
Electronic Industries of the Jiangsu Province (the "Ministry"), a provincial
agency of the People's Republic of China. The Joint Venture is 79%-owned by the
Company. Under the provisions of the joint venture agreement, the Company may be
required to contribute up to $5.4 million in cash to the Joint Venture and is
required to provide it with nonexclusive licenses to technologies and certain
distribution rights. The Ministry is required to contribute certain land use
rights and provide other services to the Joint Venture. As of December 31, 1996,
the Company had contributed an aggregate of $900,000 in cash to the Joint
Venture and provided it with nonexclusive licenses to technology and certain
distribution rights and the Ministry had contributed certain land use rights.
The Company believes that any future cash contributions it may be required to
make to the Joint Venture will be paid from its working capital or proceeds
received from additional financings, if any. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to fund the balance of any required cash contributions to
the Joint Venture, that the Joint Venture will be successful in developing or
selling integrated computer systems or other Company products to the Chinese
market or that the Company will realize any significant benefits from its
contributions to the Joint Venture.

    1994 FINANCING.  During the bankruptcy proceedings, in September and October
1994, the Company received $1.0 million through the issuance, to one investor
(the "Investor") of two secured convertible notes (the "Notes") in the aggregate
principal amount of $1,000,000 (due in March 1994 and October 1994) and warrants
to purchase 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock, with an exercise price of $0.50
per share. In October 1994, in connection with the Company's Plan of
Reorganization, the Company also entered into a standby stock purchase agreement
(the "Standby Purchase Agreement") with the Investor, pursuant to which the
Investor or his assignee (the "Standby Purchaser") agreed to purchase up to 10.0
million shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $0.50 per share, which
maximum number was decreased by the number of shares purchased by the Company's
shareholders pursuant to the exercise of warrants they received pursuant to the
Plan. In December 1994, the Standby Purchaser purchased 6,050,357 shares of
Common stock pursuant to the Standby Purchase Agreement and the Company received
approximately $2.0 million in cash (the balance being paid through the
conversion by the Standby Purchaser of the Notes). In December 1994, the Company
issued 500,000 shares of Common Stock to the Standby Purchaser under the terms
of the Standby Purchase Agreement.

    NOVEMBER 1995 AND JUNE 1996 EQUITY FINANCINGS.  In November 1995, the
Company completed a private placement of 5,500,000 shares of Common Stock at a
price of $2.00 per share, subject to certain adjustments, and received net
proceeds of approximately $10.3 million. In June 1996, the Company completed a
private placement of 600,000 shares of Common Stock, at a price of $4.50 per
share, and

                                       13
<PAGE>
received net cash proceeds of approximately $2.4 million. In connection with the
June 1996 private placement, the Company also agreed to issue to the purchasers
additional shares of Common Stock (the "Extra Shares") if the average of the
daily closing prices of the Common Stock for the twenty business days prior to
two business days before the "effective date" (as defined in the private
placement agreement) was less than $4.50 per share.

    In connection with the private placements, the Company agreed to register
the shares of Common Stock issued and any shares of Common Stock issuable
pursuant to price protection provisions or the exercise of warrants issued to
the placement agent or its designees. In December 1996, the Company's
Registration Statement on Form S-3 (which included the registration of 6,967,500
shares of Common Stock for the account of the purchasers of Common Stock in the
December 1995 and June 1996 private placements, 196,000 Extra Shares issued (for
no additional consideration) to purchasers who did not purchase shares of
Convertible Preferred with shares of Common Stock, and the shares issuable upon
exercise of warrants issued to the placement agent or its designee) was declared
effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "1996 Registration
Statement").

    CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED FINANCING.  In December 1996, the Company completed a
private placement of 450,000 shares of Convertible Preferred at $25.00 per share
for $11,250,000. In connection with the transaction, the Company received
$9,495,000 in cash and accepted for exchange, in lieu of cash, 390,000 shares of
Common Stock for 70,200 shares of Convertible Preferred. Each share of
Convertible Preferred is convertible by the holder into shares of Common Stock
at any time beginning July 1, 1997, or earlier in the event of a change in
control transaction, pursuant to a conversion formula based upon a discount from
the effective market price of the Common Stock. In addition, all outstanding
shares of Convertible Preferred will automatically convert into shares of Common
Stock on December 31, 1999, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions,
or later under certain circumstances. There is no limitation on the number of
shares of Common Stock that the Company may be required to issue in connection
with the Convertible Preferred.

    The exact number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all
of the Convertible Preferred cannot currently be determined but, generally, such
issuances of Common Stock will vary inversely with the market price of the
Common Stock. On March 25, 1997, the last reported sales price of the Common
Stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market was $2.00 per share. If the effective market
price of the Common Stock on March 25, 1997 of $1.92 per share (as determined
pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Preferred) were used to determine the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable as of the first date on which the
Convertible Preferred may be converted, the Company would be obligated to issue
a total of approximately 6,840,097 shares of Common Stock assuming all such
shares were converted at such time. To the extent the effective market price per
share of the Common Stock is lower or higher than $1.92 as of any date on which
shares of Convertible Preferred are converted, the Company would issue more or
less shares of Common Stock than reflected in such estimate, and such difference
could be material.

    RESTRICTIONS IN INVESTOR AGREEMENT.  In connection with the private
placement in December 1996, the Company entered into an investor agreement with
the purchasers of the Convertible Preferred (the "Investor Agreement"). Subject
to certain exceptions, until the Restrictive Covenant Termination Date (as
defined below), the Investor Agreement prohibits or restricts the Company from,
among other things, declaring or paying dividends or making distributions to
holders of the Common Stock, repurchasing any Common Stock or other equity
junior or on parity with the Convertible Preferred, authorizing or issuing other
equity securities senior to the Convertible Preferred and incurring indebtedness
other than for trade payables or a working capital facility not exceeding $10
million. In addition, until the Restrictive Covenant Termination Date, the
Company is prohibited from offering or selling debt, shares of Common Stock or
other equity securities (including convertible securities) other than in a
bona-fide underwritten public offering, or from obtaining any financing from a
third party, unless such transaction has been first offered to the holders of
the Convertible Preferred. The term "Restrictive Covenant Termination Date"
means,

                                       14
<PAGE>
generally, the date which is the earlier of (a) January 31, 1998 or (b) the date
on which all of the Convertible Preferred has been converted.

    REGISTRATION RIGHTS; DEFAULT PAYMENTS.  In connection with the Company's
December 1996 private placement, the Company entered into a registration rights
agreement with the holders of the Convertible Preferred (the "Registration
Rights Agreement") pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a Registration
Statement on Form S-3 relating to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Convertible Preferred by filing a registration statement on
Form S-3 by March 31, 1997 (the "1997 Registration Statement") and to use its
best efforts to cause the 1997 Registration Statement to be declared effective
by June 29, 1997 (the "Declaration Date"). In the event the 1997 Registration
Statement is not declared effective by the Declaration Date, the Company has
agreed to pay to each holder of Convertible Preferred a default payment in cash
(the "Default Payment") in an amount equal to 3% of the liquidation preference
for the Convertible Preferred held for any part of each 30-day period subsequent
to the Declaration Date until the 1997 Registration Statement is declared
effective. The Company has also agreed to make a similar Default Payment to the
holders of Convertible Preferred in the event that (i) the Company fails,
refuses or is unable to cause the securities covered by the 1997 Registration
Statement to be listed on the exchange on which the Common Stock is then traded,
(ii) any holder's ability to sell the securities covered by the 1997
Registration Statement is suspended for more than 60 days in the aggregate, or
at any time during the months of December 1997 or January 1998, or (iii) the
Company does not have a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock available to
effect conversion of the Convertible Preferred. The Default Payments must be
made each month until the condition or event causing the payment to be made no
longer exists.

    On March 31, 1997, the Company filed the 1997 Registration Statement with
the Commission registering for sale by the selling securityholders listed
therein 7,477,597 shares of Common Stock.

    DIVIDENDS.  The Convertible Preferred entitles the holders thereof to
receive cumulative dividends on each share at the rate of $1.25 per share per
annum, compounded semi-annually, when payable, whether or not declared.
Dividends may be paid at the Company's option in cash or additional shares of
Convertible Preferred.

    WAIVER; ADDITIONAL WARRANT ISSUANCE.  In March 1997, the Company and all of
the holders of the Convertible Preferred executed a waiver (the "Waiver") in
connection with the Company's obligations to comply with redemption provisions
contained in the Registration Rights Agreement. Pursuant to the Waiver, each
holder of the Convertible Preferred irrevocably waived the Company's obligations
to comply with provisions in the Registration Rights Agreement which would have
obligated the Company to redeem the Convertible Preferred (or shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of, or otherwise in respect to, the Convertible
Preferred) and, in consideration therefor, the Company (a) issued to the holders
(on a pro rata basis) in accordance with the terms thereof, Warrants to purchase
300,000 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustments), with an exercise price
of $2.00 per share, (b) waived its rights to request that the holders of the
Convertible Preferred receive any Default Payments in additional shares of
Convertible Preferred and (c) agreed that the holders of Convertible Preferred
may convert their shares into shares of Common Stock at approximately 72% of the
effective market price of the Common Stock in the event a change in control
transaction occurs prior to February 1998, or later under certain circumstances.
As a result of the Waiver, the shares of Convertible Preferred which were
classified as redeemable securities at December 31, 1996 will be reclassified as
convertible preferred stock at March 31, 1997 and, as such, will be included in
stockholders' equity at March 31, 1997.

    VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE.  The Company's future earnings and stock price
may be subject to significant volatility. The public stock markets have
experienced significant volatility in stock prices in recent years. The stock
prices of technology companies have experienced particularly high volatility,
including at times severe price changes that are unrelated or disproportional to
the operating performance of such companies. The trading price of the Company's
Common Stock could be subject to wide fluctuation in response to, among other
factors, quarter-to-quarter variations in operating results, announcements of
technological innovations or new products by the Company or its competitors,
announcements of new strategic relationships by the Company or its competitors,
general conditions in the computer industry or the global economy generally, or
market volatility unrelated to the Company's business and operating results.

    OPERATING LEASE COMMITMENTS.  The Company leases facilities in the United
States, Japan and China. The Company's rental expense for the year ended
December 31, 1996 was approximately $346,000. Future minimum lease payments
under noncancelable operating leases are expected to be approximately $362,000,
$275,000, $221,000 and $191,000 for the years ending December 31, 1997, 1998,
1999, and 2000, respectively.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

    The Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, are set forth at the end of this Annual Report
on Form 10-K and begin on page F-1.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
  FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

    On August 2, 1996, the Company received a letter from KPMG Peat Marwick LLP
("Peat Marwick") stating that it was resigning as auditor of the Company. Peat
Marwick advised the Company that it was resigning as the Company's auditor
following discussions between Peat Marwick and the Staff of the Securities and
Exchange Commission regarding the independence of Peat Marwick in light of the
consulting services provided to the Company at that time by KPMG BayMark Capital
LLC.

    In connection with the audit conducted in respect of the year ended December
31, 1995, and during subsequent periods through August 2, 1996, there were no
disagreements between the Company and Peat Marwick on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, auditing scope or
procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to their satisfaction, would
have caused them to make reference in connection with their opinion to the
subject matter of the disagreement. In addition, the audit report of Peat
Marwick on the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for
the year ended December 31, 1995 did not contain any adverse opinion or
disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit
scope or accounting principles.

    On August 14, 1996, the Company retained Price Waterhouse LLP ("PW") as the
Company's independent accountants to audit the Company's financial statements.
During the two years ended December 31, 1995 and during the subsequent period
ended August 14, 1996, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted PW
regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to any transaction,
either completed or proposed, or (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be
rendered by PW on the Company's financial statements.

                  YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995 AND 1994

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To The Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Communication Intelligence Corporation

    In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related
consolidated statements of operations, of changes in common stockholders' equity
(deficit) and convertible preferred stock, and of cash flows present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Communication Intelligence
Corporation and its subsidiaries at December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

               REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Board of Directors and Stockholders
Communication Intelligence Corporation:

We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of Communication Intelligence
Corporation as of December 31, 1994 (not presented herein), and the accompanying
related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (net capital
deficiency) and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1994. Our audit also
included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 14(a).
These financial statements and the schedule are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and the schedule based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Communication
Intelligence Corporation at December 31, 1994, and the consolidated results of
its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1994, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion,
the related financial statements schedule, when considered in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material
respects the information set forth therein.

The consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1994 have
been prepared assuming that Communication Intelligence Corporation will continue
as a going concern. The Company has incurred recurring operating losses and has
a net capital deficiency. In addition, between July 18 and November 14, 1994,
the Company conducted its operations under the protection of Chapter 11 of the
U.S. Bankruptcy Code. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do
not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the
recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of
liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES

THE COMPANY

    The corporate mission of Communication Intelligence Corporation (the
"Company" or "CIC") is to develop and market natural human, pen input, computer
interfaces and handwriting recognition-based security technologies and products
to satisfy the emerging markets for pen-based computing and electronic commerce.
These emerging markets for CIC's products include all areas of personal
computing as well as electronic commerce and communications.

    The Company's research and development activities have given rise to
numerous technologies and products including: two pen-based operating
environments (PenDOS-Registered Trademark- and PenMAC-Registered Trademark-),
its multi-lingual Handwriter-Registered Trademark- Recognition System, and two
desktop computing products, Handwriter-Registered Trademark- for
Windows-Registered Trademark- and MacHandwriter-Registered Trademark-.
Additionally, CIC has developed products for dynamic signature verification,
electronic ink data compression and encryption and a suite of development tools
and applications which the Company believes could increase the functionality of
its core products and could facilitate their integration into original equipment
manufacturers' ("OEM") hardware products and computer systems and networks.

    Through its majority-owned joint venture in China (the "Chinese Joint
Venture"), the Company provides system integration services and markets its
pen-based business computer systems to Chinese business, government users and
other joint ventures.

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

    The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and include the
accounts of CIC, its wholly-owned subsidiary in Japan, CIC Japan, Inc., and its
majority-owned Chinese Joint Venture. All intercompany accounts and transactions
are eliminated.

USE OF ESTIMATES

    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

FINANCIAL PRESENTATION

    Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 1996
financial statement presentation.

PLAN OF REORGANIZATION AND PRE-PETITION LIABILITIES

    On July 18, 1994, the Company filed a voluntary petition for reorganization
and protection under Chapter 11 of the U. S. Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy
Code") in the United States Bankruptcy Court, San Francisco District. Neither
CIC's consolidated foreign subsidiary nor its Chinese Joint Venture filed
petitions for reorganization. On September 28, 1994, the Company filed a
Disclosure Statement and

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") in the United States Bankruptcy Court, San
Francisco District. The Plan was approved by the creditors on November 14, 1994,
and the Company emerged from Chapter 11 protection on that date.

    The Plan provides for the payment in full, in cash, of all allowed unsecured
claims of creditors while leaving secured creditors unimpaired by providing for
their payment in compliance with the original terms and conditions of their
loans. Unsecured creditors will be paid in three approximately equal
installments. The first and second installments were made in February 1995 and
1996, respectively. The third installment was made in February 1997. Pursuant to
the Plan, amounts outstanding after February 1995 accrue simple interest at 8%
per annum through February 1996, 10% per annum thereafter through February 1997,
and 12% per annum for any amounts outstanding subsequent to February 1997. The
Plan also approved certain warrant offerings and stock purchase agreements as
described in Note 5.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

    The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments, including cash
and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts
payable, accrued compensation, other accrued liabilities and obligations under
capital leases, approximate fair value due to their short maturities.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

    The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity at the
date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

    Short-term investments are classified as "available-for-sale." For all
periods presented, cost of investments approximated fair market value.
Unrealized gains and losses at December 31, 1996 and 1995 and realized gains and
losses for the year ended December 31, 1996 were not material. The cost of
securities sold is based on the specific identification method.

    The Company's cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at December
31, consist of the following:

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
    Corporate debt securities at December 31, 1996 mature in less than one year.
Other debt securities at December 31, 1996 consist of securities not due at a
single maturity date.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

    Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant
concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents,
short-term investments and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash,
cash equivalents and short-term investments with various financial institutions.
This diversification of risk is consistent with Company policy to maintain
liquidity and ensure the safety of principal.

    To date, accounts receivable have been derived principally from revenues
earned from end users, manufacturers, retailers and distributors of computer
products in North America, Europe, and the Pacific Rim. The Company performs
periodic credit evaluations of its customers and does not require collateral.
The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses; historically, such
losses have been insignificant and within management's expectations.

    Two customers accounted for 34% and 13%, respectively, of outstanding
accounts receivable at December 31, 1996, and one customer accounted for 13% of
outstanding accounts receivable at December 31, 1995.

INVENTORIES

    Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, cost being determined
using the first-in first-out (FIFO) method. Cost principally includes direct
materials. At December 31, inventories consist of the following:

</TABLE>

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT, NET

    Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets,
ranging from three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over
their estimated useful lives, not to exceed the term of the related lease. The
cost of additions and improvements is capitalized while maintenance and repairs
are charged to expense as incurred.

</TABLE>

    Included in property and equipment as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 is
$31,000 and $262,000 of assets acquired under capital leases, net of accumulated
depreciation of $24,000 and $107,000, respectively. Depreciation and
amortization expense was approximately $177,000, $185,000, and $547,000 for the
years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS

    Software development costs are accounted for in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, ACCOUNTING FOR THE COSTS OF COMPUTER
SOFTWARE TO BE SOLD, LEASED OR OTHERWISE MARKETED ("SFAS 86"). Under SFAS 86,
capitalization of software development costs begins upon the establishment of
technological feasibility, subject to net realizable value considerations. In
the Company's case, capitalization commences upon the completion of a working
model and ends on general product release. As of December 31, 1996 and 1995,
such costs were insignificant and are included as a component of "other assets"
in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Amortization expense, including
amounts written down to net realizable value, was approximately $98,000,
$157,000 and $1,653,000 for 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

    Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION ("SFAS
123"). The Company has elected to continue to use the intrinsic value based
method of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, as allowed under SFAS 123,
to account for its employee stock-based compensation plans (see Note 5).

REVENUE RECOGNITION

    Revenue from product sales is recognized upon shipment provided that no
significant obligations remain and the collection of the resulting receivable is
probable. The Company provides for estimated sales returns at the time of
shipment.

when all significant obligations have been met. Royalty revenues are recognized
as products are licensed/sold by licensees. Under the terms of an agreement with

from third parties when earned. Deferred revenue in the accompanying balance
sheets reflects nonrefundable advance royalty fees received from the Company's
licensees in advance of revenue recognition.

    Development contract revenue is generated primarily from system integration
services, and research grants and joint development agreements with government
agencies. Revenue is recognized in accordance with the terms of the grants and
agreements, generally when collectability is probable and related costs have
been incurred. There were no joint development agreements in 1996 and 1995.
System integration revenue is generally recognized upon customer acceptance and
fulfillment of all significant obligations under the contract.

    Two customers accounted for 11% and 10% of revenues in 1996, respectively.
One customer accounted for 25% and 21% of revenues in 1995 and 1994,
respectively.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

    Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred.

NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

    Net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the
weighted average common shares outstanding during each period. Common stock
equivalents, consisting of common shares issuable upon conversion of the
convertible preferred stock (using the "as if converted" method) and upon the
exercise of stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method), are
not included in the net loss per common share computation as their effect would
be antidilutive.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

    The Company considers the functional currency of its Japanese subsidiary and
the Chinese Joint Venture to be the respective local currency and, accordingly,
gains and losses from the translation of the local foreign currency financial
statements are included as a component of "cumulative foreign currency
translation adjustment" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Foreign
currency assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the
end-of-period exchange rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at average
exchange rates in effect during each period.

    Net foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included as components
of "interest income and other income (expense), net" in the accompanying
consolidated statements of operations. The Company recorded net foreign currency
transaction gains of $59,000, $53,000 and $147,000 for the years ended December
31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

INCOME TAXES

    Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax
consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their financial statement reported amounts and for tax loss and
credit carryforwards. A valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax
assets for which it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

    In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 128,
EARNINGS PER SHARE. SFAS 128 will be effective for financial statements for
periods ending after December 15, 1997, including interim periods, and
establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share. In its
consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 1997, the
Company will make the required disclosures of basic and diluted earnings per
share, as applicable, and provide a reconciliation of the numerator and
denominator of its basic and diluted earnings per share computations. All prior
period earnings per share data will be restated by the Company in the period of
adoption of SFAS 128, which is not expected to have a material effect on the
presentation of the Company's earnings (loss) per common share data.

2. RESEARCH GRANT

    In November 1993, CIC received a two-year grant under the Advanced
Technology Program sponsored by the National Institute of Standards and
Technology. The amount of the first year award was $810,000. The second year
award of $670,000 was approved in January 1995. The Company recognized $91,000,
$590,000 and $746,000 as development contract revenue under this grant for the
years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

3. CHINESE JOINT VENTURE

    In September 1993, the Company formed the Chinese Joint Venture in Nanjing,
China, with the Ministry of Electronic Industries of the Jiangsu Province,
People's Republic of China (the "Government"), to perform system integration
services and market CIC's pen-based business computer systems to Chinese
business, government users and other joint ventures. The term of the Chinese
Joint Venture is 50 years. Under the provisions of the Chinese Joint Venture
agreement, in exchange for a 79% ownership position, the Company may be required
to contribute up to $5.4 million in cash, and the Company will provide
nonexclusive licenses to technology and certain distribution rights. The
Government will contribute certain land use rights and provide other services
for the Chinese Joint Venture. As of December 31, 1996, the Company had
contributed $900,000 in cash and had provided nonexclusive licenses to
technology and certain distribution rights, while the Government had contributed
certain land use rights. The timing of future contributions has not been
definitively established. The Company believes that any future cash
contributions it may be required to make to the Chinese Joint Venture will be
paid from its working capital or proceeds received from additional financings,
if any. The Chinese Joint Venture is subject to certain regulations which
require government authorization to transfer funds out of China, however, the
Company has, in the past, been able to transfer funds from the Chinese Joint
Venture to the United States.

4. DEBT

    In September 1994, the Company received a bridge loan from an investor and
director of the Company (the "Investor") of $1,000,000. The bridge loan, due in
March 1995, was secured by all assets of the Company and bore interest at 2%
above the prime rate. In December 1994, the entire principal and accrued
interest of $26,000 were converted into shares of common stock, at $0.50 per
share (see Note 5). In connection with the bridge loan, the Company granted the
Investor warrants to purchase 2,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise
price of $0.50 per share. In January 1997, the Company issued

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

4. DEBT (CONTINUED)
approximately 1,549,000 shares of common stock in connection with the Investor's
net exercise of the aforementioned warrants.

    In June 1995, the Company closed a financing agreement with the Investor
providing for loans (the "Bridge Loan") of up to $2,500,000. The Bridge Loan
bore interest at 2% above the prime rate and was repaid on November 28, 1995. On
the signing of the Bridge Loan agreement, the Company issued to the Investor
625,000 warrants to purchase common stock. In addition, each month the Bridge
Loan was available, the Company issued 156,000 warrants to the Investor to
purchase common stock, up to a maximum of 2,500,000 warrants over the term of
the Bridge Loan. Over the term of the Bridge Loan, a total of 1,563,000 warrants
to purchase common stock were issued to the Investor. The exercise price of the
warrants is $1.00 per share. In the event the Company issues shares of common
stock or convertible securities during the term of the warrants at a price less
than the exercise price of the warrants, the exercise price will be reduced. In
January 1997, the Company issued approximately 1,210,000 shares of common stock
in connection with the Investor's net exercise of the aforementioned warrants.

5. REDEEMABLE SECURITIES AND COMMON STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

PRIVATE PLACEMENT

    In June 1996, the Company completed a private placement (the "June Private
Placement") of 600,000 shares of the Company's common stock, at a price of $4.50
per share to certain institutional and other investors (collectively, the
"Subscribers"). The net proceeds to the Company were approximately $2,408,000,
net of cash issuance costs of $181,000 and $111,000 of value ascribed to 30,000
warrants to purchase common stock issued to the placement agent. The warrants
expire five years from the date of issuance and have an exercise price of $4.50
per share, subject to adjustments for antidilution. The fair value ascribed to
the warrants was estimated on the date of issuance using the Black-Scholes
pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 6.69%;
expected life of 5 years; expected volatility of 102%; and expected dividend
yield of 0%. The Company agreed to register the securities which were issued in
conjunction with the June Private Placement and which may be issued upon
exercise of the placements agent's warrants. The Registration Statement on Form
S-3 filed by the Company to effect the registration of these securities was
declared effective on December 24, 1996 (the "Effective Date").

    Pursuant to the June Private Placement agreement, the Company agreed to
issue additional shares (the "Extra Shares") of its common stock to the
Subscribers if the average of the daily closing prices of the Company's common
stock for the twenty business days prior to two business days before the
Effective Date is less than $4.50 per share. In December 1996, the Company
issued 196,000 Extra Shares for no additional consideration to the Subscribers
who do not exchange their shares of Common Stock they purchased in the private
placement for Convertible Preferred. The Registration Statement on Form S-3
filed by the Company in connection with the June Private Placement also effected
the registration of the Extra Shares.

REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

    On December 31, 1996, the Company completed a private placement of 450,000
shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock (the "December Private
Placement") at $25.00 per share to certain institutional and other investors. Of
the aggregate 450,000 shares sold, 70,200 shares of redeemable convertible
preferred stock were issued in exchange for 390,000 shares of common stock,
originally issued in the June Private Placement. The net proceeds to the Company
from the remaining 379,800 shares of redeemable

convertible preferred stock sold were approximately $7,662,000, net of cash
issuance costs of $1,100,000 and $733,000 of value ascribed to 337,500 warrants
to purchase common stock issued to the placement agent. The warrants expire five
years from the date of issuance and have an exercise price of $2.50 per share,
subject to adjustment for anti-dilution. The fair value ascribed to the warrants
was estimated on the date of issuance using the Black-Scholes pricing model with
the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 6.07%; expected life of 5
years; expected volatility of 104%; and expected dividend yield of 0%.

    The Company agreed to register the redeemable convertible preferred stock by
filing a Registration Statement on Form S-3 by March 31, 1997 and by using its
best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective
within 180 days from December 31, 1996 (the "Declaration Date"). In the event
that the Registration Statement is not declared effective within 180 days from
December 31, 1996, the Company is required to pay to each holder a default
payment (the "Default Payment") in the amount equal to 3% of the liquidation
preference for the redeemable convertible preferred stock held for any part of
each 30-day period subsequent to the Declaration Date that the Registration
Statement has not been declared effective. A similar Default Payment must be
made by the Company to the holders of redeemable convertible preferred stock in
the event that (i) the Company fails, refuses or is unable to cause the
securities covered by the Registration Statement to be listed on the exchange on
which the Company's common stock is traded, (ii) any holder's ability to sell
the securities covered by the Registration Statement is suspended for more than
60 days, or at any time during the twelfth or thirteenth fiscal month following
December 31, 1996, or (iii) the Company does not have a sufficient number of
shares of common stock available to effect conversion of the redeemable
convertible preferred stock.

    In the event the Company fails or refuses to pay any Default Payment when
due, the Company will purchase all or any portion of the redeemable convertible
preferred stock at the request and option of each holder thereof. The Default
Payment will continue to accrue through the date of such purchase. In the event
that the Company fails, refuses or is unable to cure any violation of the
registration rights granted to holders of the redeemable convertible preferred
stock within 60 days of the violation or if the Registration Statement is not
declared effective by the thirteenth month following December 31, 1996, the
Company will redeem the redeemable convertible preferred stock and/or common
stock held by each holder, in whole or in part, at the request and option of
each holder. In the case of redeemable convertible preferred stock, the
redemption price per share will be equal to 1.3865 times the sum of (i) $25.00
times the sum of the number of redeemable convertible preferred shares which
cannot be converted, plus (ii) accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, plus (iii)
any Default Payment due to such holder (in the aggregate, the "Premium
Redemption Price"). In the case of common stock issued to effect the conversion
of redeemable convertible preferred stock, the redemption price per share will
be equal to 1.3865 times the dollar amount which is the product of (i) the
number of shares to be redeemed and (ii) the closing market price of the common
stock on the date of such redemption.

    Prior to the earlier of (i) the date which is the last day of the thirteenth
fiscal month following December 31, 1996, or (ii) such date on which all
redeemable convertible preferred shares have been converted, the closing of any
transaction constituting a change in control of the Company is conditioned on
the prior purchase and redemption by the Company of, and payment for, at the
request of any holder, all or the requested portion of the outstanding
redeemable convertible preferred stock held by such holder at the Premium
Redemption Price.

    CONVERSION.  Each share of redeemable convertible preferred stock is
convertible by the holder into shares of the Company's common stock at any time
beginning six months from December 31, 1996. The

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

5. REDEEMABLE SECURITIES AND COMMON STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (CONTINUED)
number of common shares to be issued upon conversion is determined by dividing
(i) the sum of $25.00 multiplied by the number of redeemable convertible
preferred shares being converted, plus accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, by
(ii) a conversion price which ranges from approximately 72% to 85% of the fair
value of the Company's common stock (the "Conversion Price"). Each share of
redeemable convertible preferred stock will automatically convert to common
stock upon a change in control of the Company based on a Conversion Price equal
to approximately 85% of the fair value of the common stock. In addition, all
outstanding shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock will be converted
by the holders into shares of the Company's common stock by December 31, 1999,
subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and other events. So long as
any redeemable convertible preferred stock remains outstanding, the Company will
reserve at all times for purposes of conversion the number of authorized but
unissued shares of common stock that is the greater of (i) 20,000,000 (reduced
by the number of common shares actually delivered pursuant to conversion) or
(ii) 1.5 times the number of common shares sufficient to effect the conversion
of all redeemable convertible preferred stock outstanding.

    DIVIDENDS.  Holders of redeemable convertible preferred stock are entitled
to receive cumulative dividends of $1.25 per share per annum, compounded
semi-annually, whether or not declared by the Company's Board of Directors (the
"Board"). Dividends are payable six months from December 31, 1996 and
semi-annually every six months thereafter, when and as declared by the Board.
Dividends may be paid, at the Company's option, in cash or additional shares of
redeemable convertible preferred stock. The Company has agreed with the holders
of redeemable convertible preferred stock that the Company would not declare
dividends or make any distributions to holders of its common stock prior to the
earlier of January 31, 1998 (or later under certain circumstances) or the date
on which all outstanding redeemable convertible preferred stock has been
converted into shares of common stock. The Company is also required to pay any
accrued and unpaid dividends on outstanding shares of redeemable convertible
preferred stock before declaring and paying any dividends for any other class or
series of stock. No dividends were declared by the Board through December 31,
1996.

    VOTING.  Holders of redeemable convertible preferred stock have the right to
vote with the holders of the Company's common stock, combined as one class, for
the election of directors and upon such other matters to be voted on at any
meeting of stockholders. Each share of redeemable convertible preferred stock
entitles the holder to one vote. In addition, the affirmative vote of 75% of the
outstanding shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock is required for the
consummation of certain business combinations and other extraordinary
transactions, amendments or waivers to the Company's Certificate of Designations
or amendments to the Company's organizational documents which may change the
rights of holders.

    LIQUIDATION.  In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
the Company, either voluntary or involuntary, the holders of redeemable
convertible preferred stock are entitled to receive, prior and in preference to
any distribution of any assets of the Company to the holders of any other class
or series of stock, the amount of $25.00 per share plus any accrued but unpaid
dividends.

COMMON STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

    Under the Plan (see Note 1), each holder of common or convertible preferred
stock received, in exchange for each two shares of convertible preferred or
common stock, one Unit consisting of two new shares of common stock ($0.01 par
value) and one stock purchase warrant having an exercise price of $0.50. The
unexercised warrants expired on December 15, 1994.

5. REDEEMABLE SECURITIES AND COMMON STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (CONTINUED)

    Concurrent with the Plan, the Company negotiated a Standby Stock Purchase
Agreement (the "Standby Agreement") with the Investor, through which the
Investor committed to purchase up to 10 million shares of newly issued common
stock at a price of $0.50 per share. The terms of the Standby Agreement provided
the Investor would purchase sufficient shares of newly issued common stock such
that gross proceeds received pursuant to the Standby Agreement and exercise of
warrants described above would total $5 million. The shares purchased pursuant
to the Standby Agreement have certain demand registration rights. As
consideration for the Investor's commitment under the Standby Agreement, the
Company issued 500,000 shares of common stock to the Investor. The Investor
purchased 6,050,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the Standby Agreement,
payment for a portion of which was effected through the conversion of the
Investor's Bridge Loan to the Company plus accrued interest (see Note 4).

    In November 1994, the Board approved an increase in the number of shares of
common stock authorized for issuance from 40 million to 80 million shares.

    The Company adopted two stock option plans in 1991 (the 1991 Stock Option
Plan and the 1991 Nondiscretionary Plan). Incentive and nonqualified options
under the 1991 plans may be granted to employees, officers, and consultants of
the Company. As amended, there are 2,050,000 shares of common stock authorized
for issuance under these plans.

    In conjunction with the approval of the Plan, the Company received approval
of its 1994 Stock Option Plan (the "1994 Plan"). The 1994 Plan allows directors,
officers, and employees to be eligible for grants of incentive and nonqualified
stock options.

    In May 1996, the stockholders approved an increase of 1,000,000 shares to
the number of shares authorized for issuance under the 1994 Plan. Accordingly, a
total of 5,000,000 shares of common stock are authorized for issuance under the
1994 Plan.

    The exercise prices of options are determined by a committee of the Board,
but in the case of an incentive stock option, the exercise price may not be less
than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of
grant. Nonqualified options may not have an exercise price of less than 85% of
the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.
Options generally vest over four years. For those options which vest over four
years, 20% of the total options granted vest on the first anniversary of the
date of grant; an additional 20%, 20%, and 40% of the total options granted vest
on the second, third, and fourth anniversary of the date of grant, respectively.
Options are generally exercisable over a period not to exceed seven years.

    In May 1994, the Board of Directors approved a resolution to reprice
outstanding stock options. The repricing occurred on July 11, 1994, resulting in
the cancellation of 1,029,000 original options and the granting of an equivalent
number of new options at an exercise price of $0.50 per share, the then current
price of the common stock. Other than the change in the exercise price, the new
options were granted on the same terms and conditions as the canceled options.

    In December 1994, for services rendered prior to and during the Company's
Chapter 11 proceedings, options to purchase 180,000 shares of common stock at
$0.50 per share were granted to three directors of the Company under nonplan
option agreements. In addition, a nonplan option to purchase 100,000 shares of
common stock was granted on December 28, 1994, to a newly elected director and
Chairman of the Finance Committee. The options have an exercise price of $0.50
per share. The nonplan options generally vest over four years. For those nonplan
options which vest over four years, 20% of the total nonplan

options granted vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant; an
additional 20%, 20%, and 40% of the total nonplan options granted vest on the
second, third, and fourth anniversary of the date of grant, respectively.
Nonplan options are generally exercisable over a period not to exceed seven
years. As of December 31, 1996, 480,000 nonplan options were outstanding with a
remaining contractual life of 4.4 years and a weighted average exercise price of
$0.50 per share. Of such nonplan options, 312,000 were exercisable at December
31, 1996 with a weighted average exercise price of $0.50 per share. The newly
elected director also received an option, vesting one year from date of grant,
to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the Company's 1991
Nondiscretionary Plan.

    On June 1, 1994, the Company negotiated with its employees to reduce their
salaries through August 31, 1994. Those employees who agreed to continue their
employment at the reduced wage were granted certain option rights to purchase
common stock (the "Options"). Options to purchase 2,210,000 shares of common
stock were granted at an average exercise price of $0.57 per share under this
agreement, of which 377,000 Options were granted to officers under the 1991
Stock Option Plan, with the remaining Options granted outside of the plan. The
Options were immediately exercisable and remain in effect for seven years from
the date of grant. As of December 31, 1996, 737,000 Options had been exercised
at a weighted average exercise price of $0.49 per share and 496,000 Options with
a weighted average exercise price of $0.75 per share had been forfeited. The
following table summarizes information about the Options outstanding and
exercisable at December 31, 1996 which were granted outside of the 1991 Stock

FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURE

    Had compensation cost for the Company's option plans been determined based
on the fair value of the options at the date of grant, as prescribed by SFAS
123, the Company's net loss and net loss per share would have been as follows
(In thousands, except per share amounts):

</TABLE>

    The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using
the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average
assumptions used for grants during the applicable period: dividend yield of 0%
for both periods; risk-free interest rate of 6.6% for options granted during the
year ended December 31, 1996 and 5.7% for options granted during the year ended
December 31, 1995; an expected life of 4 years for both periods; and expected
volatility of 100% for both periods.

    Because options generally vest over four years and the Company expects to
make additional option grants each year, the above pro forma disclosures are not
representative of the pro forma effects on reported results of operations to be
expected in future periods.

WARRANTS

    In December 1994, a director of the Company was granted warrants to purchase
100,000 shares of common stock at $0.50 per share. The warrants were granted in
connection with a bridge loan. The warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of common
stock were exercised in December 1996.

    Warrants to purchase 4,167,000 shares of common stock were outstanding as of
December 31, 1996. In January 1997, 3,563,000 of these warrants were exercised
(see Note 4). The remaining 604,000 warrants have a weighted average remaining
contractual life of 4.2 years and a weighted average exercise price of $2.40 per
share.

    As of December 31, 1996, 10,269,000 shares of common stock were reserved for
issuance upon exercise of outstanding options and warrants on that date.

6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

    In April 1994, the Company loaned $210,000 to the Company's Chief Executive
Officer in exchange for a note, secured by the Company's common stock, bearing
interest at the highest marginal rate applicable to the Company's borrowing or
the highest rate allowable by law. During 1996, the due date of the note was
extended from April 1, 1996 to April 1, 1998.

    The Company paid a director of the Company $100,000 in consulting fees and
$100,000 in placement fees during 1996 and 1995, respectively. During 1997, the
director agreed to increase his time commitment

to the Company and to maintain an office on behalf of the Company. To compensate
the director for his additional time commitment and to reimburse him for office
expense, the consulting fee was increased to $150,000 for 1997.

7. COMMITMENTS

OPERATING LEASE COMMITMENTS

    The Company leases facilities in the United States, Japan and China. In
January 1997, the Company entered into a noncancelable operating lease for
additional office facilities in the United States. In addition to monthly rent,
the U.S. facilities are subject to additional rental payments for utilities and
other costs above a base amount. Facilities rent expense was approximately
$346,000, $224,000, and $559,000 in 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively.

    Future minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating leases are
approximately $362,000, $275,000, $221,000 and $191,000 for the years ending
December 31, 1997, 1998, 1999, and 2000, respectively. Future minimum payments
required under capital leases, which expire in 1997, are insignificant at
December 31, 1996.

8. INCOME TAXES

    As of December 31, 1996, the Company has federal net operating loss
carryforwards available to reduce taxable income through 2011 of approximately
$42,000,000. The Company also has federal research and investment tax credit
carryforwards of approximately $368,000, which expire at various dates through
2010.

    Deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, consist of the following
(in thousands):

8. INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)
    Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the amounts of, and the benefit from, net
operating losses and tax credit carryforwards may be impaired or limited in
certain circumstances. These circumstances include, but are not limited to, a
cumulative stock ownership change of greater than 50%, as defined, over a three
year period. During 1996, the Company experienced stock ownership changes which
could limit the utilization of its net operating loss and research and
investment tax credit carryforwards in future periods.

9. FOREIGN OPERATIONS

    The Company's export sales were 7%, 6%, and 15% of total revenues in 1996,
1995, and 1994, respectively. Information regarding foreign operations is as

Supplemental disclosure of cash flow information:

Interest paid in 1996, 1995, and 1994 was $215,000, $154,000, and $57,000,
respectively.

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

    On March 28, 1997, and effective as of December 31, 1996, holders
constituting 100% of the issued and outstanding redeemable convertible preferred
stock executed a waiver to certain provisions of the Registration Rights
Agreement (the "Agreement"), entered into in connection with the December
Private Placement, which irrevocably waived such holders' rights to any
redemption (see Note 5) in exchange for the issuance to the holders of 300,000
warrants to purchase the Company's common stock, allocated amongst the holders
on a pro-rata basis. The warrants expire five years from the date of issuance
and have an exercise price of $2.00 per share, subject to adjustment for
antidilution. The Company has ascribed a value of $484,000 to these warrants,
which will be recorded as an expense in the Company's statement of operations
for the first quarter of 1997. The fair value ascribed to the warrants was
estimated on the date of issuance using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the
following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 6.60%; expected life of 5
years; expected volatility of 104%; and expected dividend yield of 0%. As a
result of the waiver, the shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock have
been reclassified as convertible preferred stock and, as such, are included in
stockholders' equity.
